Here's a snapshot of the 1911 inhabitants, places in brackets are birthplaces:

High/Wood Row, only two families indexed, rest of the properties (26) condemned "bad sewerage" I assume these last two were waiting to be moved.
This row has been demolished by the time of the 1920s map. (26+2 = 28, agreeing with the number of dwellings on the map)






[28 South Parade Chevington Acklington] no reference to a place called "South Parade", so assume this was a local name for Wood Row?
Thomas Smith, 44, Coal Mine Stoneman (Guide Post)
Catherine Smith, 46, wife (Radcliffe)
Charles Smith, Son, 19, Colliery Mechanic Engine Fitter (Chevington)
Mary Elliott Weightman, 76, Mother-In-Law, widow. (South Middleton Ilderton)


[Wood Row Chevington Acklington]
John Oliver, 38, Miner Coal Hewer (Stamford Alnwick)
Jane Ann Oliver, 35, wife (Ouston, Co. Durham)
John Ernest Oliver, 15, son, Pony Driver in mine (Ponteland)
Moses Oliver, 11, son (Chevington)
Minnie Oliver, 7, daughter (Chevington)
Catherine Oliver, 4, daughter (Chevington)
Margaret Oliver, 3, daughter (Chevington)
James Clarke 59, Boarder, colliery labourer at pit above ground (Hexham)
